- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Siyabonga Ngezana made 47 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 14' Assisted by Rayan Cherki with the perfectly-timed delivery and Georges Mikautadze makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 19' It looks like no one’s ball. FCSB Bukarest is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 24' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 29' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marius Stefanescu is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Olympique Lyonnais.

- 37' What a strike from Ernest Nuamah! The score is 2-0.
- 42' Olympique Lyonnais are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FCSB Bukarest backline.

- 47' Georges Mikautadze with the second goal in the match!
- 52' Olympique Lyonnais are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 53' The whistle greets Corentin Tolisso as he departs to be replaced by Nemanja Matic.
- 54' Olympique Lyonnais ring the changes. Tanner Tessmann has done his job and it is now time for Thiago Almada to step up.
- 59' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 64' Both keepers have barely been tested. Olympique Lyonnais and FCSB Bukarest are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 65' Olympique Lyonnais manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Malick Fofana is hanging Rayan Cherki on the field on 65 minute.
- 70' It looks surprising Olympique Lyonnais does not make any changes. Adrian Sut has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 79' Fresh legs for FCSB Bukarest! Andrei Gheorghita comes on to replace Mihai Toma.
